Brandon Graham is back.
The Philadelphia Eagles are finalizing a deal with their two-time Super Bowl-winning defensive end, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
News of Graham possibly coming out of retirement was first reported on Sunday morning. That was even before Azeez Ojulari, who started at edge rusher for the Eagles in Week 7, left the game with a hamstring injury.
The Eagles are obviously really thin at edge rusher. Nolan Smith is on injured reserve (he might return after the Week 9 bye) and Ogbo Okoronkwo is out for the season. Za’Darius Smith unexpectedly retired early last week.
Bringing Graham back should help the Eagles at a position of need. That is, assuming he’s in game shape. Graham was playing at a high level prior to suffering a triceps injury that
